Lyrics
Boy, I know you're strong I know you're fine I know you don't need me To help you see a sign I just get scared Act like a j*rk Obsess about the route that you take home from work About the streets you pa** when you walk home from work I clear my mind I down a scotch Goddammit, nothing's going to hurt you Not on my watch 'Cuz I'm gonna protect you From all of the familiar temptations I'm gonna protect you From scoundrels and snakes I'm gonna protect you From all of the quick medications I'm gonna protect you From former mistakes I'm gonna protect you I swear I'm gonna protect you I'll be there To protect you from all of the bad things that happen in Florida In Florida, oh In Florida In Florida, oh Now please don't shout I know you know what's best I understand now I've been branded just a hypocritic pest And you've ever right To just shut down But no it's not that I don't trust you it's just I don't trust this town Hey, I'm gonna protect you From all of the ranters and ravers I'm gonna protect you Your body and mind I'm gonna protect you From all of the ten dollar favors I'm gonna protect you So you don't go blind I'm gonna protect you I swear I'm gonna protect you I'll be there To protect you from all of the bad that happen in Florida In Florida, oh In Florida In Florida, oh Yeah I really didn't wanna argue today And if you really listened to the things that I say You'd hear they come from a good place I'm older than you, I've been under the bus I've seen what can happen to people like us It's enough to make ya sick Goddamn, scotch goes quick Guess it got late Way past two I know it's silly that I worry, but I do It's just my way And honestly I wish I had someone who said this sh*t to me Said "I'm gonna protect you From all of the scary surprises I'm gonna direct you Around all the traps I'm gonna object to Each one of your dumb compromises I'm gonna affect you By pointing on maps" And you're gonna never despair 'Cuz I'm gonna always be there To protect you To protect you Boy, to protect you From all of the bad things that happen in Florida In Florida, oh In Florida In Florida, oh Only in Florida In Florida, oh In Florida In Florida, oh In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere In everywhere On distant shores Near snowy fields of white In record stores In suburbs bathed in white In rows with doors In kitchens late at night In dresser drawers In Florida
